The field of biomedical materials plays an imperative requisite and a critical role in manufacturing a variety of biological artificial replacements in a modern world. Recently, titanium (Ti) materials are being used as biomaterials because of their superior corrosion resistance and tremendous specific strength, freeallergic problems and the greatest biocompatibility compared to other competing...

in the present work, the electrooxidation of formic acid and formaldehyde; potentially important fuels for future fuel cells, was investigated on the fe3o4@pt core-shell nanoparticles/carbon-ceramic electrode (fe3o4@pt/cce). the fe3o4@pt nanoparticles were prepared via a simple and fast chemical method and their surface morphology, nanostructure properties, chemical composition, crystal phase, ...

this paper focused on the characterization of electrochemical behavior of a martensitic stainless steel inthe acidic solutions. for this purpose, electrochemical parameters were derived from potentiodynamicpolarization, mott schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques.the potentiodynamic polarization results showed that corrosion current density of aisi 420 sta...

The great success of cemented total hip replacement to treat patients with endstage osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis has been well documented. However, its long-term survivorship has been compromised by progressive development of aseptic loosening, and few hip prostheses could survive beyond 25 years. Aseptic loosening is mainly attributed to bone resorption which is activated by an in-vivo mac...

As an important problem in forging factories, dies are destroyed because of high wear rate, plastic deformation and thermal and mechanical fatigue at high temperatures. This paper is an investigation into        the use of nickel super alloy with different welding parameters. Three weld overlaid alloys of inconel625, as wear resistance hardfacing materials on H13 tool steel, with different weld...

Abstract:Electroless Nickel-phosphorus (EN) coatings provide high performance in various industrial fields due to their unique properties such as excellent corrosion and wear resistance. This paper aims to study the effect of ZnO nano-particles addition on corrosion behavior of EN coatings. Various amounts of ZnO nano-particles with average diameter of 50 nm were added to hypophosphite reduced ...

Nitriding has long been used to engineer the surfaces of engineering steels improve their surface and subsurface properties. The role compound layer (γ′-Fe4N and/or ε-Fe2-3N) in improving tribological corrosion-resistant properties nitrided established. However, there have very few studies on response tribocorrosion corrosive environments. In this work, behavior a 5 μm thick γ′-Fe4N nitride pro...

Researchers are in search of parameters inside Li-ion batteries that can be utilized to control their external behavior. Physics-based electrochemical model could bridge the gap between Li+ transportation and distribution inside battery and battery performance outside. In this paper, two commercially available Li-ion anode materials: graphite and Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12 or LTO) were selecte...

Lubricants are important factors in the tribology of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surfaces, which are primarily comprised of a polished metallic or ceramic component articulating on an Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE) surface. Wear particles released from the PE surface are the primary cause of TJA failure. The human body responds to the foreign, microscale particles by activatin...
